Timeline

1810s
Born c. 1814

Barkway, Hertfordshire, England

Born at Barkway about 1814-15 and baptised there on 18 September 1814, son of Richard Stacey, labourer, and Patience. The birth place is pinned on BARKWAY, not Therfield: the 1851 Barkway census - which is the only record giving Therfield - is outweighed by his own answer at the 1871 census, 'Birth County Hertfordshire | Birth Place Barkway', by the Barkway baptism (his parents' abode Barkway, and the only William Stacey baptism anywhere in Hertfordshire 1808-1822), and by his burial at Barkway aged 60. Therfield, nine miles off, may still be where he was actually born - the 1851 return is his own household's - so both readings are left cited and the pin is reversible.
